8.5.3 Linking PakBus Nodes: Neighbor Discovery

New terms (see Nodes: Leaf Nodes and Routers

(p. 351)

):

• node
• link
• neighbor
• neighbor-filters
• hello
• hello-exchange
• hello-message
• hello-request
• CVI
• beacon

To form a network, nodes must establish links with neighbors (neighbors are
adjacent nodes). Links are established through a process called discovery.
